I've always been bad about forgetting where I put stuff, whether
for cooking or anything else. Someone once suggested that I make mental
notes to myself, e.g.: "I'm setting the lid to this bottle just to the
right of this saucer, near the top edge."
I don't always remember to do that, but when I do, it helps. Also,
as Nicole mentioned, preparing before you start can really lower your
stress. I like to gather all my ingredients in one place. As I use them,
I move them to another predetermined spot. I'm a real slowpoke in the
kitchen, but getting things ready beforehand makes meal prep go more
smoothly.
Another time-saver I sometimes use is to fill one sink with soapy
water before I start on a recipe. For utensils that can't go in the
dishwasher, or that are not very dirty, I just rinse them a little and
drop them into my water to soap. I can then wash them up quickly, when I
have a minute, and clean up the counters with my soapy rag.

Yes, you also might try getting one of those trays you see in fast food
restaurants to carry your food on. Place your cooking things on it or your
entire meal prep.

Subject: [CnD] Frustrations in the kitchen sometimes
Hi all.
So sometimes when Im cooking, I forget where I set things down like the
garlic or a bottle of sauce. The other day I was frying some corn taco
shells and kept losing the tongs. Sometimes...or most of the time the kids
will need me for something and I get distracted. Does this happen to any of
you?
